Installation of lxqt-config

First, do a temporary workaround due to cmake-3.8: 

new='../liblxqt-config-cursor/lxqt-config-cursor_autogen/include'

sed -i "/CURRENT_BINARY_DIR/a \"\${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/$new\"" \
       lxqt-config-appearance/CMakeLists.txt \
       lxqt-config-input/CMakeLists.txt &&
unset new

Install lxqt-config by running the following commands: 

mkdir -v build &&
cd       build &&

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$LXQT_PREFIX \
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release          \
      -DPULL_TRANSLATIONS=no              \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib          \
      ..                                  &&

make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

-DPULL_TRANSLATIONS=no: Removes the need for git-2.14.1, which would otherwise be requested to download the translation files.
